Whoever is happy will make others happy, too. -- Anne Frank
Anne Frank had good reason to be unhappy, full of fear, and deeply discouraged. Years of her life were spent in a small apartment hiding from the Nazis who wanted to destroy her and her family.
Yet even in this little hiding place she had happiness. It was something she had inside which did not depend on what happened around her. She had riches of the heart. She had faith that kept her going. She had love and concern for her family and others, which made even a restricted life very rich with feelings. It is tempting to believe that we will be happy when we have something outside ourselves, which will make us happy. But happiness is not something we have to find outside; the seeds are in our hearts already.
What happiness can I find in my latest setback?

just want to note that ann frank did not have clinical depression, a chemical imbalance of the brain. this would have made it hard to keep cheerful in those circimstances, therefore no diary would have been written or at least not a very up lifting one...and i have always thought she must have had wonderful parents to be so positive..., that girl was loved. you dont pull that stuff out of an empty hat.
